Laxmi Bai was born on 16th November 1834, in Varanasi (UP). Her childhood name was Mani Karnika or Manu. After the death of her mother she came to Bithur with her father. In Bithur, she learnt horse riding and martial art. When she was eight, she was married to Raja Gangadhar Rao of Jhansi and so Laxmi Bai was called the “Rani of Jhansi”. In 1851, she gave birth to a son but by 1853, both her son and husband had died. The Rani Jhansi adopted a son under the policy of lapse, but the British Government did not recognize the adopted son and annexed Jhansi in 1853. On 4th June 1857, the sepoy regiment stationed at Jhansi rebelled.

The Rani continued to command her forces from inside the fort but ultimately she was forced to leave Jhansi. She then managed to reach Kalpi, where she joined her forces with that of the Nawab of Banda, Tatia Tope, but the British forces pursued her at Kalpi also and inflicted defeat on Kalpi. The Rani now captured Gwalior from Scindhia. The Rani was defeat on Kalpi. The Rani was surrounded from all sides, and so, she now tried to organize a retreat and while doing so was fatally wounded on 18th June 1885 and breathed her last on the battlefield.
